Share your reflections
Liked how she got students to talk- they need to be able to expressive themselves, hear their voice, then go write it down.
Conference with first boy- she got him talking, allowed him to think more clearly.
Conferencing needs leading questions to get student to talk.
Focused on craft of writing and process, validated the students thoughts.
Give oppotunity to express themselves- use their words. Focus on content.
Lucy fluently moves through conferences. Parts- research, compliment, teaching phase.
"You're the spotlight" Hear their stories.
How do you get to the point where students will write about what is important to them. How do we build the trust? How do we help them get ideas to write?
